by the teacher in the classroom interaction. Audio recorder was utilized during the interview process. Hence, the data were analyzed similarly with how the data
collected through video recording was analyzed. The stages of analyzing the data collected through interview can be seen as follows:
1. Transferring the audio file into computer in order to make it easier to
analyze the data. 2.
Listening to the audio carefully. 3.
Selecting the data, which was the appropriate data and which was not. 4.
Transcribing the audio file to make it easier to be analyzed. 5.
Analyzing the transcription of the data collected through interview. The analysis was focused on addressing the second and the third research
questions, which were related to teacher’s and students’ perceptions toward the effective questioning strategies applied in classroom
interaction. The result of this analysis was intended to support the result of video recording data analysis.
6. Interpreting and discussing the data taken from the interview process to
address the research questions. 7.
Concluding the findings into conclusions and suggestions for further study.
3.5 Validity and Reliability of Research Instruments
Throughout the process of data collection and analysis, it is important for a researcher to make sure that the findings and interpretation of the study are
accurate. Therefore, validating findings is an important stage to be conducted in order to make the study more valid and reliable.
In order to avoid some biases and subjectivity in capturing the research findings in this study, the researcher applied two kinds of strategies in validating
the research findings namely triangulation and member checking. To apply this trustworthiness, three instruments of collecting the data were
employed which were video recording, classroom observation, and interview. It was expected that by using multiple or various methods in collecting the data, this
study can reduced bias causing the subject.

Meanwhile, member checks or member checking is a process in which the researcher asks one or more subjects in this study to check the accuracy of the
result of the study Creswell, 2012. Member checks or member checking was applied in this study in order to determine whether the findings are accurate. In
addition, Alwasilah 2000 mentions several advantages that can be taken from applying member checks or member checking. They are 1 preventing the
misinterpretation of the subject s’ answers during interview process, 2 preventing
the misinterpretation of subject s’ behavior during observation process, and 3
clarifying the subject s’ perspectives toward certain process occuring. Therefore, in
this study, the researcher involved taking the findings back to the subjects. Due to some considerations, the subject involved in member checking process was the
teacher. The teacher, then, was asked to read and check the research findings including the questioning strategies applied by the teacher in her classroom and her
perceptions toward the questioning strategies applied in her classroom interaction.
